1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS from North America - Comments

Alternator, several times before going with an after market upgrade.

Radiator, @ 110,000 miles.

2 water pumps.

Front disc brakes 3 times.

Rear drums once @ 160,000 miles.

Most dependable car I have owned. Had it for 7 years and it has 175,000 miles on it, and the engine is still strong, rides and looks good.

1991 Camaro R/S 5.0L Automatic. Purchased 1997 with 98,000 miles. Now has 240,000 miles. Replaced rear shocks,4 alternators, 1 starter, 1 water pump, one exhaust pipes and muffler. Regular service of fluids, filters and lubes. I drive it 137 miles round trip commute to work since Jan. 1999 except from the summer of 2002 when I purchased a Corvette for summer use. The Camaro is still my winter car and needs only minor repair this summer. The steering box is getting a bit loose and the clutch packs seem to be approaching the end of their service life. The engine is still strong with good and even compression on all cylinders. The handling characteristics are only slightly less than my Vette. I do most of my own repair and service, so I am sure of what has been done. Who would have thought that such a sharp looking car could be such a work horse.

My daughter's 1991 Camaro RS has been parked at my house since 1998. The car has only 63,000 miles and still looks good--white exterior, red interior. Initially, there was a problem with the car that the dealership apparently could or did not fix. While she was driving the car, it would shut off and had to be towed to the dealership. She loved the car so I kept it for her. My brother-in-law would like to get the car running again. He can do most of the mechanical work, but we would like some information from someone who has worked on a 1991 Camaro. It appears that the security system shuts the fuel pump off and he would like some information. Thanks!

I have a '91 Chevy Camero V6 3.1L and it runs excellent. I've only had to repair it a few times in the past 6 years. It's had about 3 major tune ups in the 6 years, and starters going out. It has 160,000 miles and still purrs like how I got it. I ran into a problem with it though a couple years ago where a chip went out. Some kind of sensor chip. A year later my brothers chip on his camero went out as well. It can cause your car to turn off out of the blue with little or no warning. Overall I would purchase another Camero any day. It kicks butt and keeps running. Does anyone know how camero's handle in snow? I'd like to know.
